Correction
In the list of the names of the ex-
ecutive of the Red Cross Society pub-
lished last week the name of Mrs. W.
A. Beecroft was inadvertidely omit-
ted. The regular January meeting of the
W. C. T. U. was held in the Ladies
Parlours of . the United Church.
"Stand up for Jesus" was used as the
opening hymn followed with prayer
by Miss W. Barfcot. The hymn "Near-
er My God to Thee" was sung. Mrs.
A, E, Lloyd took the Bible reading,
her scripture lesson Matt. 13,
The hymn "Take time to be Holy"
was sung followed by a reading by
MI's. F. Collar; "My Purpose for the
New Yeear" and "The ,Art of For-
getting." Miss Joan Hiesler sang "All
beautiful the March." Mrs. Cosens
gave a- reading "A New Year Toast."
"He Leadeth - Me" 'was sung and the
Presdeint led the Clip Sheet readings.
In these readings, the following facts
were given: "A gentleman in an Ont-
ario Town Attacked' the W. C. T. U,
as `narrovgeminded' .after that Union
had critized the Town Council for
raising money to buy Christmas cheer
for the men in uniform, He said he
had never read' of the W. C. T. U.
feeding the hungry, sending bundles
to the bombed countries, etc. Perhaps
they hide their light under a bushel."
On of the White-Ribboners of that
W. C. T. U, answered this query with
the following facts concerning the
war work of the W. C. T. U,, she
said, "The local W. C. T. U. has since
the beginning of the war in the inter-
ests °fewer savings, persistently urged
a curta,ilment of the $1038.08 spent in
S— on beer alone every week of the
year, and with the Unions of Canada
has endeavoured to combat a situation
which has proved a detriment to ob-
taining recruits for the army, a menace
to the efficiency of the boys in uni-
form, and a hindrance to the mothers
and wives in freely giving their sons
and husbands for army service. The
widespread W. C. T. U. patriotic
services was summed up briefly in the
following words:
W. C. T. U. members throughout
the Dominion have held their own
with those of any other organization
in the knitting of socks and garments,
quilting, in responSe to all community
projects (provided they are legal) for
war work, and in their monthly con-
tribution to Red Cross and other pat-
riotic societies.
Ontario W. C. T. U. have given a
mobile canteen at a cost of $2,250;
Toronto district, an ambulance at a
cost -of $10,000; London a Victory
Band for $625, not to mention gifts

A. E. Lloyd
Born in 1862 at Simcoe, Norfolk
County, he came to Wingham in 1865
with his parents the late Mr. and Mrs,
Charles Lloyd, It is believed that Mr.
Lloyd has been a resident of Wing-
ham longer than other other living
person. As a young man he spent a
few years in Niagara Falls, Galvans-
ton and Elpaso, Texas, also at Los
Angeles and San Francisco, In 1887
he returned to Wingham and a year
later with his father and two broth-
ers, W. H. and. Charles Lloyd they
founded the door factory which now
is such a prominent part of our com-
munity, C. Lloyd & Son. This busi-
ness has grown front its modest be-
ginning to be the largest exclusive
door factory in Eastern Canada.
His wife was formerly Sarah Louisa
Dixon of Niagara Falls. They were
married February 15th, 1888 at Nia-
gara Falls by the Rev. Mr. Hazel-
wood formerly of Clifford. They cel-
ebrated their golden wedding in 1938
at Weymouth Heights, Southern Pin-
es, North Carolina, where they were
vacationing for the winter months,
Next to his business probably Mr.
Lloyd's greatest interest was the work
of the church, For many years he was
very active in the Sunday school and
other church activities. He was an
elder of St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church,' an advocate of Temperance
reform and at the time of his death
was Honorary President of the Huron
County Temperance Federation.
He is survived by his widow, two
daughters and two sons, Mrs. W. H.
French, Richard H., Charles W„ and
Miss Dorothy, all of Wingham, He
is also survived hy one brother, Rev.
W. H. Lloyd, San Jose, California, and
six grandchildren. Two daughters
predeceased him, Ruth in 1910, and
Annie in 1918. Two brothers and one
sister also predeceased him, Charles,

Received Card. From War Prisoner
Mr, Cqlin Crozier, principal of the
Public School here received a card
from Sgt. John McKinnon Jarrell, who
is a prisoner of war in Germany. Sgt.
Jarrell came from near Kincardine and
he was shot down while flying over
Axis territory. He says on the card
"Here I ant but I am 62 days nearer
freedom, I am fine but was cut par-
ticulary about the face when we crash-
ed. I spent several weeks in hospital'
hut the treatment was excellent".. He
goes on to say "I miss good Canadian
grub and smokes most but must con-
sider myself lucky to be alive". The
card is dated 28-9-41 and is from
Kriegsgefangenenlager. Part of two
lines was deleted by the censor.
A rare opportunity was afforded the
people who gathered in the'United
'Church in Wingham on Thursday evs
"ening to hear Rev. J. G. Endicott,
'recently returned to Canada from
China where he has been serving on
the staff of the New Life Movement
-under the personal supervision of
' Madame Chiang Kai Sbek.
In this work 'he went out to bombed
areas to bring relief to the wounded
and homeless and was deeply moved
by the suffering and perseverance of
the spirit of sacrifice and endurance
-of these people. The leaders of China,
have opened wide fihe doors of oppor-
tunity to the Christian Church and
-the speaker urged that everything
:possible should .b,e done to win these
people. '
He told the story of a newspaper-
man who wanted an interview with
'Chiang Kai Shek just as an air raid
'warning sounded. After coming up
;from the dug out it was tea time and
Madame Chiang asked, him to tea.
After tea she invited him to stay for
-evening prayer, during which he heard
Chiang Kai Shek . earnestly pray for
guidance and ask that he might be
"worthy of his brave people. When he
came away the newspaperman told
his friends that at last he had been
-in the presence of two real Christains.
There is an opportunity for, the'
'missionaries who are fleeing from the
Japs. The new China government will
pay their fare and transportation for
.500 pounds of baggage. Even the
communists in the 18th Army have
asked for Christian missionaries and
,especially Y. M. C. A. workers.
He told the story of Lily Yang, a
little girl who swam Suchow Creek
amid Jap bullets carrying a flag to
the suicide battalion in the battle of
Shanghai. Madame Chiang has taken
her under her care and Lily is going
-to be a good Christian woman.
There are 400 Japanese secret serv-
ice agents ',for Chiang Kai Shek in
Chungking alone. These Japs are dis-
satisfied with the ambitiones of the
military and capitalists and are eager
to help the Chinese.
A pretty little Japanese girl, a
Christian, was one of these. She went
'behind the Japanese lines and got in-
'formation for, the Chinese. The Japs
'became suspicious and tortured her
until they had broken every bone in
both her hands but she would not tell
for whom. she worked and later escap-
cd and is even now carrying on her
work.
Another interesting story was about
a young Chinese called. Bill Slim He
knew the Chinese Red CroSs was in-
adequate, 1 doctor to 25,000 soldiers,
so he started a society called "Friends
of the Wounded." He asked a .farmer
what he could give and in a land where
there is always a scarcity of food he
replied, "One egg a week." From that
gg a week the movement has grown
until now-it has i 2,000,000 members. In
the city of Chungking where 8 out of
10 have lost both homes and business
.$2,000,000 was raised in one week for
this cause. '
He told. how Madame Chiang has
taken care of,. about 30,000 , orphans
and has them billeted in temples far
inland, She gave them a Christmas
party and after Santa distributed his
toys they asked her to say something.
She told them the story of Jesus in
.a simple beautiful manner, At the close
one of the little, boys dame up to her
• and said, "We have heard that the
Germans are persecuting the little
Polish children just as we have .suf-
fered from .the Japs, and we want to
help. As we hare no money"-we want
to forgo our lunch for two days and
. give the money to them". Madame
complied with their request and sent
the amount saved through the Inter-
?national Red, Cross.
The Christian Missionary hospitals
have done 50% of the surgical dress-
ings in this war, The United Church
of Canada Hospital at Chungking has
not been hit and is doing a great work,
The caltist nurses and .doctors carry
,on under the bombings with no
'thought 'for theinaelvcs.
The tptakgr closed with a Strang
plea to accept the great challenge
given by, these courageous people to
Support the great cause of Christian-
ity throughout-the world,

ed." Devotional exercises were taken

Mrs. Marshall, who is Honorary
President and a past president of the
Women's Baptist Home Missionary
Sociqv of Ontario West;' is making
a tour 'of the Middlesex-Lambton As-
sociation. She spoke on "Home ,Mis-
sions," painting a vivid picture of what
the War means in increased obligations
to the women of the church. She said,
"We must not be discouraged by the
task that Bea before us, Our religious
experience must become a fighting
force to win freedom to live and wor-
ship, without want and without fear,
The women of Canada have responded
in a fine way to the increasing de-
mand for service and sacrifice being
made on every hand, but they must go
one step further. They must realize
that there can be no real freedom
apart from doing the will of God. The
great thing is not so much what we
are fighting against, it is what we are
fighting for.
The speaker stressed the responsibil-
ity of home mission workers among
refugees coming to this country;
among the great variety of national-
ities in Northern Ontario and the
Western Provinces, .a.mong the people
of Quebec and at the present time
among the people serving in military
camps and in munitiott factories.
Mrs. Marshall said, "Moist women
have pledged themselves to do all they
can to give Christianity to our own
country, and if they fail 'iii 'Canada,
they fail in their whole world pro-
gram."
The meeting -dosed with the singing
of the hymn, "To The Work To The
Work" and prayer `by Mrs. Pryce.
